title: catena-Poly[[manganese(III)-bis-{μ-2-[(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)imino-meth-yl]-6-meth-oxy-phenolato-κ(3) O (1),N:O (2);κ(3) O (2):N,O (1)}] iodide].
abstract: In the title one-dimensional coordination polymer, {[Mn(C10H12NO3)2]I} n , the potentially tetra-dentate (O,O,O,N) 2-[(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)imino-meth-yl]-6-meth-oxy-phenol (H2 L) ligands are mono-deprotonated (as HL (-)) and coordinated by the metal ions in a tridentate chelate-bridging fashion [2.0111112]. The Mn(III) atom possesses a distorted trans-MnO4N2 octa-hedral coordination environment. The bridging ligands lead to [010]-chain polymeric cations {[Mn(HL)2](+)} n in the crystal. The charge-balancing iodide ions are disordered over two sites in a 0.690 (2):0.310 (2) ratio and a weak O-H⋯I hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal studied was found to be a racemic twin.
